It’s said that Super Bowl Sunday is a snapshot of America. If that’s the case, America is a weird, vapid, uninteresting place. Joel and Corey Hall review the game, the commercials and the halftime show – all three elements were equally dull! Then guys also get a call from comedian Sal Demilio to discuss the betting implications of a low-scoring game and how his dream job is, still, to open for Frank Sinatra. Also, Eddie Murphy made so much homophobic comedy in his career Joel can’t keep it straight. Hear the awful examples of what he was up to and why, it seems, no one is outraged today. Plus, True Detective is good and Corey doesn’t care, why comedians hate FuckJerry, the Starbucks CEO runs for president, and Liam Neeson has a particular set of possibly racist skills.

It’s a breakdown of the 2015 Oscars as Joel and Corey tell you why Neil Patrick Harris “bombed” as host when he actually did just fine, how celebrity assholes in the crowd ruined the performance for Neil and why nobody can seem to do the job well. The guys also reveal why Birdman was an undeserving winner for best picture, the reasons the academy loved it so, and Oscar’s long history of picking the wrong film as the best year after year. They also look into the controversies from the show like the death montage snubs, Wes Anderson’s girlfriend and the idiotic article that followed, and the extremely weird look and behavior of John Travolta – though still not as weird as Michael Cimino. Plus, SNL turns 40 and the reunion was as expected – the funny guys were funny and the guys who weren’t, weren’t. Joel says that’s enough of Fallon and Timberlake, Corey can’t get enough of Bill Murray, and Eddie Murphy has pretty much won the asshole of the year already.

There’s nothing worse than a comedian singing. Well, maybe, a singer telling jokes – but either way Joel Radio brings you a definitive list of the worst examples of comedians singing, from straight up, humorless covers, to awful Christmas songs and some of the lamest attempts at rapping ever, you’ll hear it all on this show. Which comic covers the Beatles? Which one hates joke thieves while ripping off Public Enemy? Which one sings about sticking things in his backside? It’s a definitive countdown of the most awful, cringe worthy, humorless songs ever sung by comedians you might actually like otherwise. Joel and Corey are joined by John Tenney, who announces his new TV project, a new take on ghost-hunting shows that’s coming to basic cable very soon. Also, the guys cook up an idea for a comedy reality show, Meredith Viera has a ten-piece band in her living room, and Joel gets a magic trick right – on the second try. Plus, a melancholy goodbye to Joan Rivers, one of comedy’s all-time greats.

Joel and Corey wish they were TV characters. No it’s not like they want they’re own show, it’s just that they want to live in a fabulous apartment with little or no income. That’s what happens on shows like FOX’s New Girl, which returned to TV screens this past week. The guys talk the new TV season, but there’s not much to like so far. Of the new shows, Corey isn’t buying the Mindy Kaling hype, while neither of them can figure out the appeal of Ben from Ben and Kate – even if Joel’s place looks like Ben would live there. Also, Eddie Murphy + Richard Pryor = violence, why The Little Rascals were the most racist thing ever, and Joel can’t take Halloween hysteria for another year. Plus, Corey goes to Europe and does it “wrong” – some unbelievable fan reaction to the last show!

It’s Super Bowl time, and what better American tradition is there than gambling? Corey and Joel make a bunch of off the wall bets on the big game, like the length of field goals, player jersey numbers and other crap. They avoid the James Blunt vs Peyton Manning wagering, though. Speaking of sissies, the guys explain why no real men wear sandals. Also, Ivanka Trump’s boobs make for an emergency phone call, the death of celebrity nudity, why Paul McCartney was a dick, the greatest comedy albums ever, and why Eddie Murphy is a complete embarrassment. All this while consuming tons of Taco Bell. A modern classic. Right click here to download – 76 minutes, 36 megs
